“The article’s tone is disputatious, and its posting on FR drives a wedge between Catholic and Protestant FReepers”
The article’s tone is mild, intellectual, and inviting. It is people who insist on seeing all disagreement as “provocative” who drive a wedge between Catholic and Protestant. Enough? Yes, enough of that.
The guilty flee when no man pursueth. In the same way, those who hate see hatred where none exists.
FRiend, I know what I see all up and down this thread, from all quarters, and most of it isn’t pretty. It’s downright discouraging. The fruit of this sort of thing on FR has not been good. We could be emphasizing the common ground that exists between Catholics and Protestants (and other Christian confessions), and saving our energy and ammunition for the enemy, but instead there is this striving for victory among ourselves, one group of Christians over another. You think that’s good? I don’t. Let’s try not to be part of the problem.
